| About the Technology: |
 An engineer at the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) Indian Head Division developed a differential pressure flow sensor to measure the speed of submarine-launched torpedoes. Wickford Technologies realized that the invention had multiple uses in the commercial arena, and signed an exclusive contract with the Navy to produce the sensor.
The device is most easily adapted for use by sailboats. Wickford's first market for the sensor is racing sailboats that need to measure flow of water to determine speed. |

Military and Commercial Significance: |
· Sail Boats
· Naval Ships
· Marine Electronics
· Fluid Flows in Pipe
· Air Flow Sensors for Aviation
|
|
Numerous industrial applications may prove promising for Wickford. They are working to develop applications that would allow determining the speed and volume of substances flowing through pipes, and another that would track the speed of aircraft.
This revolutionary technology is being adapted to provide flow rate and volume information to a number of industries, including marine electronics, gasoline retailing, industrial process pipe-flow monitoring, and aviation airflow sensing.
